The distance should be 4m from the wire in order to get the magnetic field of 0.100μ .

The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to a straight wire carrying current can be calculated using the previously mentioned Biot-Savart law. Let "I" be the current flowing in a straight line and "r" be the distance. Then the magnetic field produced by the wire at that particular point is given by $B=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi r}$ ...(1)
Since the wire is assumed to be very long, the magnitude of the magnetic field depends on the distance of the point from the wire rather than the position along the wire.

It is given that magnetic field 40.0 cm away from a straight wire is 1.00μT having current 2.00 A .

From equation (1) magnetic field 40.0 cm = 0.4m away from a straight wire is 1.00μT which is given by $1.00=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi \times0.4}$ .....(2)

From equation (1) magnetic field 'r' m away from a straight wire is 0.100μT which is given by $0.100=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi \times r}$ ...(3)

On dividing equation (2) by (3) , we get

$\frac{1}{0.1} =\frac{r}{0.4} \\\\r=4m$

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.60 kg cartons of cereal at one end of the basket. The basket i

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The gallon of milk is placed at a distance of 0.641 meters.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of two 0.6 kg cartons of cereal is 1.2 kg

Length of the basket, l = 0.77 m

Center of the basket is 0.385 m

Mass of the half gallon of milk is 1.8 kg

Total weight in the basket is 1.2 + 1.8 = 3 kg

We need to find the position of the gallon of milk so that the center of mass (COM) of your groceries is at the center of the basket.

So,

(3 × 0.385) = (1.2 × 0) + (1.8 × x)

1.155 = 1.8 x

x = 0.641 meters

So, the gallon of milk is placed at a distance of 0.641 meters.

A diamond with a mass of 45 g hangs motionless from a chain. what is the upward force of the chain on the diamond?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The upward force of the chain on the diamond would be the tension in the chain, and this tension would have to support the weight of the 45g that hangs from the chain.

mass = 45 g = 45/1000 kg = 0.045kg

Weight = mg = 0.045 * 10 ≈ 0.45N, g ≈ 10 m/s²

<span>So the upward force is ≈ </span><span>0.45N. </span>

Explain how you can determine the direction of a magnetic field produced by a wire if you know the direction the current trough

notka56 [123]

Using the right-hand screw rule, you position your right hand is if grabbing the wire, with the thumb protruding outwards, pointing towards the direction of the current. The 4 fingers wrapped around the wire determines the direction of the magnetic field.

A net external nonconservative force does positive work on

Sergio039 [100]

Answer with Explanation:

From work energy theorem we have

$\Delta Energy=\int F.ds$

Now since it is given that the work done on the object by the force is positive hence we conclude that the term on the right hand of the above relation is positive hence $\Delta Energy>0$

Part a)

Hence we conclude that the mechanical energy of the particle will increase.

Part b) Since the mechanical energy of the particle is the sum of it's kinetic and potential energies, we can write

$\Delta K.E+\Delta P.E=\Delta E\\\\\therefore \Delta K.E+\Delta P.E>0$

Now since the sum of the 2 energies ( Kinetic and potential ) is positive we cannot be conclusive of the individual values since 2 cases may arise:

1) Kinetic energy increases while as potential energy decreases.

2) Potential energy increases while as kinetic energy decreases.

Hence these two cases are possible and we cannot find using only the given information which case will hold

Hence no conclusion can be formed regarding the individual energies.
